hi Dimsum members,

I wonder if I could draw your attention to a small, unofficial 'project' I'm doing on my blog, which is to photograph Chinese establishments (takeaways, restaurants etc) that have a 'Frozen in Time' look i.e. places that have stood unchanged and have that old look from the 70s or even earlier.

As I don't exactly travel up and down the country, I realise I'm not actually going to see that many places so I wondered if any fellow dimsum members have seen any establishments like this? Please check out the link to see what I'm talking about, and if you have any pics, please get in touch!
